As always this game is aobut being someone constantly next to a computer. If you ahve a RL and don7t live next to a computer...this game sucks.

I disagree. There is no need to sit around the comp all the time. A stable team buys about 1-2 players a season. If you are playing the market or trying to daytrade, you should be near the computer constantly. But this is not what this game is about.
You can save 3 searches (big men, sf, backcourt) and run them every 2-3 days. Usually you lack the money to buy most of them. If you find a player you really like it's not extreamly hard to make sure you can be online at that time. You will miss some of those set "events" with RL issues or ingame funds, but eventually if you are patient, you will get your desired players. If you have spent your leftover money on players or arena. There is no point to check the TL constantly. Unless you want to see which players sell at what price or mourne about the players you could have bought:)
Building a team is not a sprint, emotions will make you buy limited players, keeping a cool head on the TL is the key.

I was new at the time..1 season or so it was tthe last day of selling Im learning also i dont know how much a player is worth just by looking at him. No one ever taught me that. i really taught my self a or tried and learned by copying other teams.I know very little in Bb.I read the help guide and all but its not it going to happen in one day .

BUt thank your for the advice

I agree. This game is mostly about the market......I bet every single team that was new, 1-3 seasons later, all their originals/draftees are gone. People nowadays get players from TL, like I'm limited in the school year, except sat and sun, where I mostly go to the market...if you look at the players I bought, 80-90% of the players I got were from the weekends, except Revfi, when I was absent, and then late night bids, like Canals.....anyways, managers that are new/don't have time for TL can't get nowhere in the game. Players that are online constantly (like me) can go from trash team to champions in a week......it just takes the patience in the TL, and the right time.......like I was temted to get on while at school.....but you always miss a player, and you just goto face it......don't be crying over the ones you can't/didn't get, this game is about being tough, matuerity, decisions, and time. Also luck. TL requires luck/time/decisions, like ""can this guy contribute to my team"" or, """is he a good enough trainee""" or, will he be the star of my team""" one time I just got a player for 25k, he was old, but had one good skill, I didn't even imagined he'd become the star of my team....he got 5,700 salary, far below my C. But luck can do something........but this game reqiures TL, and there're thousands of players out there, you just have to search.

Interesting topic! 1st off I resent the claim that teens have no lives. That is so not true some of us do have jobs while trying to stay in the top 5 in school. We have busy lives too.

Anyway, I agree with what GM-Perpete was saying. The other day while bidding on some rookies, I knew what my limit was so I started pushing the price up. It started at 43k but soon after a couple 1,000K bids I started going up by 15-25k until I reached my limit. More then likely the other guy is going to keep just outbidding you by 1,000 so push it.

Lastly, the bidding system can be frustrating when you have things to do and you keep getting outbid but I think it is the fairest way to do things.
